Why do you have to open the folders at all? The script I originally posted

Apologies, JR. I saw that your script required a third-party OSAX and
stopped reading. I could have saved myself some bother if I'd studied it
more closely. It seems you can indeed set the view of a container window
that doesn't exist - though there's nothing I can find in the Finder's
dictionary to suggest that a folder actually *has* a container window.
However, if you trace the inheritance tree right up to 'item', this has a
'window' property, which is the window that would open if the item were
opened.
A hybrid of your script and mine takes less time than mine alone, though
the computer locks up with no sign of activity until it's finished. In
defence of my script, it does also set the 'zoomed' property of each
window, which can only be done with the window open. :-)
